Abstract
|
|
|
When it became widely known recently that Bartolomeo Eustachio, a well-known anatomist who named the Eustachian tube (pharyngotympanic tube), made very great contributions towards the anatomy and physiology of the dentition, including the first descriptions of the structure of the dental pulp and the periodontal membrane, he began to be called ‘the Father of Dental Anatomy’. He published the first book devoted to the structure and function of the teeth, “Libellus de Dentibus”, in 1563. It has been translated into several languages.
Here we introduce the main contents of the booklet translated into English as “A Little Treaties On The Teeth” by Chernin and Shaklar in 1999, and once again honor Bartolomeo Eustachio's great work in dental anatomy.
